Potato salad and boiled sausages, cream puffs, pretzels, warm beer.
They ride in the roller-coaster, two in a seat—
Glorious danger, warm delicious proximity!
The unaccustomed beer floods their veins like heady wine,
And smothered youth awakens with shrill screams of joy.
The sun sets, and evening is drowned in electric lights;
Arm in arm they wander under the trees
Everywhere meeting others wandering arm in arm
In the same wistful wonder, seeking they know not what.
They have left the park and the crowds, the stars shine out,
